SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 589,610, datedSeptember 7, 1897.

Application filed February 12, 1 897.V Serial No. 623,145. (No model.)

To all whom t indy concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT MCPHAILL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brenham, in the county of Td/ashington and State of Texas,have invented a new and useful Stovepipe, of which the following is aspeci iication.

The invention relates to improvements in stovepipes.

The object of the present invention is to provide a stovepipe adaptedfor cooking and hea-ting stoves and capable of deilecting the sparks andof causing' the same and soot to drop back into a stove and therebyavoid any liability of setting a house on fire or injuring the sectionsof stovepipe between it and a chimney.

A further object of the invention is to provide a stovepipe which willconfine the heat tc the stove and prevent the same from passing up thechimney or iiue and at the same time not interfere with the draft.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination ofparts, as hereinafter iulliT described, illustrated in the drawings, andpointed ont in Athe claims hereto ap pended.

In the ,drawingsJ Figure l is an elevation of a stovepipe 'constructedin accordance with this invention. Fig, 2 is a longitudinal sectionalView, the damper` being closed in full lines and shown open in dottedlines. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional View on line 3 3.0i

Fig. Fig. is a similar view on line et of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detailperspective view of the damper.

Lilie numerals of reference designate correspondin g parts in all thefigures of the drawings.

l designates a stovepipe-section provided with a central enlargedportion or chamber El, which is cylindrical between its ends, and thelatter taper toward the end portions 3 and e of the stovepipe-section.The end portions 3 and 4 are ot' the ordinary size, the upper endportion 3 being adapted to iit into another stovepipesection and thelower end portion 4 being designed to it upon a stove in the ordinarymanner.

1Within the chamber 2 of the stcvepip'e-sec tion is arranged an upperinclined deflector, a damper 5, and a lower inclined deflector G, whichis substantiallysemicircular and which extends across one-half of thechamber 2. The detlector 6 is secured at its curved edge or periphery tothe interior of the stovepipesection, and it is provided with a curvedslit,

'forming a segmental bod)7 portion and arranged parallel with the curvededge of the deflector. The segmental bodT portion 7 of the inclineddeflector is depressed slightly and is arranged in a plane below thecurved edge or peripheral portion and forms an opening whereb7 it isadapted to have sparks impinge against it `and be dei'lected downwardand at the saine time permit a snfiicient draft at that side of thechamber The upper dellector 8 is constructed similar to the lowerdeiiector (5, and the damper 5, which is hinged to the upper rigiddeiiector S, is similarlyT constructed. The upper `deilect'or'Sislocated above the lower deflector G at the opposite side of thestove-pipesection, and the damper 5 is located directl57 over the bottomdeliector, wherebjVT a tortuous passage is provided for the smoke andother products of combustion, the lower deileetor being adapted to stopthe sparks at one side of the chamber and the upper deflector at theother side of the saine.

The damper and the upper delector converge downwardly and are providednear their curvededges with slits and have segmental body portions whichare depressed below the planes of the peripheral edge porf tions.

The damper 5 is mounted on a shaft or rod l0, which is extended throughthe sides of the chamber 2 and provided with an exterior han die 1l. Acoiled spring l2 is disposed on the rod or shaft between the handle andthe stovepipe-section and friction allyT engages the parts sufficientlyto maintain the damper at the desired adjustment.

The openings in the deliectors and damper permit a limited draft whenthe damper is closed, and the diameter of the enlarged portion erchamber 2 of the ,stovepipe-section is sufficient to provide for all'thedraft desired when the damper is open.

IOO

It will be' seen that the stovepipe-section is adapted to confine theheat in a stove and prevent it from passing out through the ohin1- neyor iiue, that it serves as a spark-arrester, and that it will eause thesoot to drop back into the stove. It will also be apparent that it willprotect the other sections of a stovepipe and Will prevent a housecatching on iire by reason of flames or sparks passing into a chimney orflue.

1. The'eombination with a stovepipe-section, of an inclined segmentaldefleotor arranged therein and provided near its upper edge with anopening, and a damper hinged to the deflector and inelining upward inthe opposite direction, substantially as described.

2. A stovepipe-section provided with an inclined defieetor arranged atone side thereof, and provided near its upper edge with a slit scribed.

In testimony that I'olaim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy si gnature in the presence of two Witnesses.
